Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 316 They Can’t Do Much

Zhou Zhao asked Lin Zhiyi to stall Li Huan while he hurried to buy fish.

As it happened, Lin Zhiyi was just about to meet Sang Ran so she agreed.

Some things are better clarified by oneself.

When she arrived at the door of the ward, the Gong Family and the Sang Family had already left, leaving only Li Huan and Sang Li discussing Sang Ran’s condition.

Upon seeing her, Li Huan suddenly closed his mouth.

Lin Zhiyi felt it strange, but just as she was about to ask, Sang Li diverted the topic.

"Didn’t Zhou Zhao come with you?"

"He..." Lin Zhiyi tiptoed closer to Sang Li’s ear, "like this..."

Sang Li listened and felt utterly embarrassed, glancing briefly at Li Huan.

Li Huan felt a premonition of something bad: "What are you two whispering about?"

"Nothing."

Lin Zhiyi immediately hid behind Sang Li, which to others looked like her complete trust in Sang Li, as well as an intimate gesture between lovers.

Li Huan and Sang Li were both startled for a moment.

At this very moment, Gong Chen walked out of the ward, his dark eyes fixed on Lin Zhiyi’s hand that was linked with Sang Li.

Upon noticing, Lin Zhiyi slightly lifted her eyes to meet those deep ones.

Then swiftly, she looked away with a strange and cold detachment.

Gong Chen’s gaze lingered for a few seconds, then darkened with self-mockery: "I’m leaving."

He walked past Lin Zhiyi without looking back.

Li Huan immediately said, "I’ll go check on him."

After the two had left, Sang Li then turned around to look at Lin Zhiyi.

"It’s alright, go in. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi pushed open the door.

The ward had a heavy scent of disinfectant, and Sang Ran leaned on the pillow, her face deathly pale, staring blankly out the window.

Upon hearing the noise, she turned to Lin Zhiyi and her eyes reddened.

Seeing Sang Ran like this, Lin Zhiyi felt even more guilty.

The scene of Sang Ran defending her in front of Wen Qing lingered in her mind.

Perhaps Sang Ran was also suffering greatly.

Lin Zhiyi walked to the bedside, and pulled the blanket up to cover Sang Ran’s bloodless hands.

"Xiao Ran, I’m sorry."

"Don’t, don’t say that, it’s my own fault for scaring you with my poor health," Sang Ran managed a bitter smile.

"Xiao Ran, Mr. Sang and I are serious. I visited Third Young Master yesterday after notifying Mr. Sang in advance, and Li Huan was with me the entire evening, don’t overthink it," Lin Zhiyi explained.

"Okay."

Sang Ran’s voice was very faint, her mood increasingly depressed.

Lin Zhiyi continued, "Don’t worry, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think we probably won’t see each other after this. I plan to pursue further studies, and the day should be set soon."

"Further studies?" A glimmer of interest appeared in Sang Ran’s eyes.

No matter the reason, Lin Zhiyi didn’t care; she didn’t want to hurt Sang Ran.

She nodded, "I’ve discussed it with Mr. Sang. Conveniently, he also has to deal with some things abroad, and he will accompany me for a period of time."

Sang Ran chuckled softly, "My brother is really good to you."

Lin Zhiyi saw her expression soften and continued, "He is indeed. However, I probably won’t be able to attend your wedding with Third Young Master."

"It’s alright. Your own matters are more important."

After Sang Ran finished speaking, she realized that her tone might have been too cheerful.

As if she couldn’t wait for Lin Zhiyi to leave quickly.

She looked down, ashamed, "Zhiyi, do you also think I..."

"No, and besides, the Gong Family definitely doesn’t want me to appear at your wedding," Lin Zhiyi said casually, "Xiao Ran, I wish you happiness."

Sang Ran looked up, gratefully, "Zhiyi, thank you for your blessings. Third Young Master and I will surely be happy."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi saw that Sang Ran’s complexion was still poor and did not linger. She got up and left.

Exiting the ward.

Sang Li stood at the door, gestured for Sang Ran to rest well and regain her strength, and then closed the door.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you back."

"Alright."

...

On the way, Sang Li noticed Lin Zhiyi looking at university admission materials and glimpsed the name of the school.

It’s the school that he hoped Lin Zhiyi would attend.

"Zhiyi, you don’t need to..."

Lin Zhiyi immediately spoke up to interrupt: "Don’t guess wildly. Although the school recommended by Third Young Master is top-notch, the major doesn’t have ordinary people, and the tuition is just too expensive. Even the scholarships are almost all pre-determined."

Although one can’t deny the school’s strength and its ability to create legendary designers.

But after Lin Zhiyi checked the lists from previous years, without exception, the students of this major all had a certain prefix.

The daughter of so-and-so, the son of so-and-so. fгeewebnovёl.com

The scholarships seem very substantial, but in reality, they’re just to add some splendor to the resumes of these young masters and misses.

The money isn’t even enough to buy them a handbag.

Naturally, Lin Zhiyi couldn’t compare with those people. It’s enough to know one’s limits and act accordingly.

Sang Li really wanted to say he could pay her tuition, but thinking of her personality, he didn’t say it out loud.

He smiled lightly: "Zhiyi, you might as well coax me a bit by saying it’s for my sake."

Lin Zhiyi cleared her throat and played along: "For your sake."

The look in Sang Li’s eyes, initially joking, turned deep and intense as he slowly lifted his hand and smoothed the hair on the side of Lin Zhiyi’s face.

Then he held her cheeks and slowly leaned in.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t dodge. She knew it was time for her to take a step forward.

Just as Sang Li’s lips were very close to hers, the car suddenly braked hard, causing her body to jolt.

Sang Li immediately asked, "Are you alright?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head.

Sang Li looked up at Zhou Zhao, who was driving: "What’s happening?"

Zhou Zhao helplessly pointed at a car next to them: "He cut me off!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked out the window.

A familiar car stopped next to them.

The window was half-open. A hand clutching a cigarette reached out, with a red jadeite ring on the thumb, the ring appearing dangerous and arrogant amidst the dissipating smoke.

Gong Chen.

Hadn’t he left earlier?

What on earth does he want?

The more Lin Zhiyi thought about it, the angrier she got: "Assistant Zhou, drive."

Zhou Zhao turned around: "Miss Lin, even though Young Master isn’t lacking money, it’s a red light, it’s against the rules."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi was left speechless.

Sang Li looked at the car window, seeming to sense the man’s gloomy and cold gaze.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Zhou Zhao lightly: "After this intersection, take a right turn ahead."

Zhou Zhao immediately caught his meaning.

After the red light, the two cars drove side by side, but when they reached the next intersection, Zhou Zhao suddenly veered into the sole right-turn lane and sped off.

In the car.

Chen Jin frowned and said: "Third Young Master, do you need me to make a U-turn?"

Gong Chen pinched out the cigarette: "No need. They won’t be able to do anything."

He glanced down and scanned the text message on his phone.

...

Lin Zhiyi was thinking about how to broach a topic with Sang Li when her phone rang.

She looked at the screen, surprised to see it was Li Huan.

Could it be that there’s a problem with her injury?

She answered the call, and before she could speak, she heard Li Huan’s roar from the other end.

"Where’s Zhou Zhao? Tell him to take the phone!"

Lin Zhiyi immediately realized the matter with the fish had been exposed and quickly tried to explain on behalf of Zhou Zhao: "Well... didn’t Assistant Zhou compensate you with the fish? How about I have him compensate you with a few more?"

Li Huan snorted coldly: "Ask him what kind of fish he gave me!"

Lin Zhiyi looked up at Zhou Zhao, and his grin gave her a bad feeling.

"What kind of fish?"

"This idiot! He put five crucian carp in my fish tank!"

That Li Huan would curse indicated how shocked he was to see his beloved fish suddenly turned into crucian carp.

Lin Zhiyi looked at Zhou Zhao incredulously: "Assistant Zhou, where did you buy the fish?"

"The market! His fish were really hard to purchase, and they couldn’t be delivered for a while, so I bought him five crucian carp to nourish his body! They’re good for braising, making soup."

"..."

Just shut up, will you!
